You would probably be forgiven for thinking it was a mistake to see producer Will Packer's name on the upcoming survival thriller Beast. Having made a name for himself creating comedies like Ride Along, Girls Trip, and Think Like A Man, plus acclaimed dramas like Straight Outta Compton, it does seem out of the ordinary, but that was by design. Speaking in an exclusive interview with ComicBook.
"I hadn't done a survival thriller. I'm a fan of Jaws and the Cujos, and those types of projects, and I hadn't done one. And I thought that this concept was like, clean enough. It felt like a great, theatrical, late-summer movie, you know? You can come in and eat your popcorn, and just have an escapist moment and watch Idris Elba punch lions in the face. I mean, I'm here for it.
When we followed up and asked why seeing a film like this in the theater with an audience was important to him, Packer added:"I think that's important to have a breath of opportunities and options for movie goers. I think, I got nothing against like big tentpole, comic book things, big brands and IP, but an original movie like this one, let's see if audiences respond because I just like there to be just a plethora of options when you go to the cinema.
